He's actually a fairly well known jazz guitarist.

I met a big guy named Taylor Gibson.
He was very bright but quietly spoken.

Martin is a great player - started seeing him with Stephane Grappelli in the very early 80's. Here's a cool documentary with them from a good while back.

Stephane is my favorite musician of all time, hands down.

I met a guy named Martin Taylor,
I asked if he was conflicted.
He had a guitar,
With signature,
Which was somewhat unrestricted.

There once was a Taylor named Martin
Whose loyalties were quite unsartin
He said "Tradition is grand
But on the other hand
The neck reset cost does dishearten."

Martin is the best
Although Taylor was thought so
Martin reigns supreme

Gill D. Gibson, for example, is not taken yet.

I'm sure there's a Norman Segal or Siegel etc. somewhere. But does he have a brother named Simon Patrick? That'd be a good'n.

Martin Guitar's fame might be slipping. The company has been going for over 175 years and run by a hoard of guys called Chris Martin but if you Google 'Chris Martin Guitars' the first thing you get is something about the guitars owned by a guy in 'Coldplay' (whatever that is)
